A 62-year-old man, understood to be a prawn fisherman, has died following an incident at a fish farm in Wester Ross. Police Scotland said the alarm was raised at a farm on Loch Shieldaig in Torridon just before 9am on Tuesday August 7 following reports of a person in the water. Portree and Kyle Lifeboat, along with other Maritime and Coastguard Agency search and rescue assets, were called to the scene.
A spokesperson for Police Scotland told the Lochaber Times: ‘The man’s body was recovered from the water and he was pronounced dead at the scene. ‘Inquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances, although the death is not believed to be suspicious.
‘His next of kin are aware and a report will be sent to the procurator fiscal in due course.’
